Re: migraine stroke
I'm very familiar with migraines that have stroke-like symptoms. Have them quite regularly. Slurred speech, staggering, not knowing who or where I am. Then after the attack having little or no memory of the incident.
These days I usually get a sort of premonition that I'm about to get one of these attacks a day or so before. I really can't explain what the premonition is. Just a sort of "out of it" sensation. I avoid leaving home at such times as there's nothing worse than finding yourself in hospital with all the noise and lights. Pure torture!
